The Mounties scored before halftime to halve the deficit then tied the game with a short pass by Mike Battisti just before the third period ended.

Battisti passed to Cody Dillon for a 49-yard gain on a 4th-and-inches late in the third period but MEH's Brandon Marshall sacked Battisti on fourth down to end the threat.

J.T. Metz then put MEH ahead with a successful 4th-and-inches play.

The senior quarterback broke out of a pile of players and ran 53 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 9:52 to play in regulation.

MEH's defense held LF on the next series and another Hackney TD run, this time from 13 yards, gave the hosts some breathing room.

Battisti had a long pass play to Dillon on the next series to give LF hope for a comeback, but MEH's defense rallied around a Wyatt Morris sack to stop the drive. The offense took over ran out the clock to seal the victory.
